First Hello, Last Good Bye

When I first meet you it was hard to say hello
Over the years we had great memories
These memories will be in my heart forever

The day I heard you died it brought tears to my eyes
I did not get a chance to say good bye to you
Now you are gone but not forgotten

You are now in a better place
A place where you can live in peace
I want to see you again someday

This day for me is very sad
I know deep in my heart I have to let you go
It is hard for me to say goodbye

Thank you Robin. This poem is for those who lose a family member or friend in death. When we first meet not sure of the hello and its hard. When we hear that they died it mkakes many feel empty there was no time to say goodbye.

yes they are hard, I wish the same. We can overcome lossing a loved one with the blessings from the lord. Many pray for us and we pray to God to help us out in hard times.
